2. Focus your effort on the middle section: The hardest part (km 3.5-5.5) is the heart of the climb. Hold a steady, controlled effort through this section and keep your breathing under control.
3. Active recovery on the final part: The gradient eases off after 6.0 km. Use this last stretch to soft-pedal a little, recover your legs and get ready for the summit.
